NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Eclipse over the Temple of Poseidon” is copyrighted by Chris Kotsiopoulos & Anthony Ayiomamitis (TWAN). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Moon partly blocked the Sun last week, creating a partial solar eclipse visible across parts of Earth. This image captures the partially eclipsed Sun poised above the ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, Greece. Clouds unexpectedly covered the top of the Sun, and a bird was caught in flight.
